Rationale

Federal rental construction financing and GST rebate for purpose-built rentals drives investment from $3.5B to $6B. Chain: purpose_built_rental_investment -> housing_completions (+0.40, d8). The 8-epoch delay captures the full rental construction cycle: planning, permits, construction, occupancy.

Details

Epoch: 45

Domain: housing

Fiscal cost estimate (LLM): $2.50B CAD

Structural estimate (RIPPLE): +$23.05B CAD net (v3-bfs-signed depth=2, decay=0.5/hop; diverges)

Top RIPPLE cost paths
  • +$17.68B → consumer_spending (Consumer Spending Growth) via housing_affordability
  • +$4.98B → healthcare_spending (Healthcare Spending) via housing_affordability
  • +$0.65B → housing_spending (Housing Programs) via housing_affordability
  • −$0.27B → immigration_spending (Immigration & Citizenship) via housing_affordability

Causal effects: 1 downstream variables affected (0 immediate)

Divergence after: 310.424

Variable changes

  • purpose_built_rental_investment: 3.5 → 6

Proposed policy move

purpose_built_rental_investment: 3.5 → 6 (▲ 2.5)
